The article is devoted to a preliminary, exploring analysis of the geographical names from the area of the Commonwealth of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania functioning in the French language in the third quarter of the 18th century and registered in the famous Encyclopaedia of Diderot and d'Alembert (Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, 1751-1772). The material comes from the monograph by Maciej Forycki Chronografia Rzeczypospolitej szlacheckiej in Encyclopaedia of Diderot and d'Alembert, Poznan 2010.

The paper deals with the issue of standardization of foreign geographical names in Slovak. The issue for discussion is the standardization of the name Lombardy instead of the hitherto used name Lombardia. The author analyses the relationship between these competitive names and their functioning in Slovak. She bases his findings on the frequency of occurrence of these names in the corpora of the Slovak language – the family of web corpora Aranea and the Slovak National Corpus. The analysis takes into account the issues of lexicographic processing of these names, the principles of standardization of foreign names in Slovak, as well as international trends leading to reduction of exonyms in national languages. The practical use of the names Lombardia / Lombardsko is evidenced by examples from corpora. The author also notes them in the context of the linguistic adaptation of other names in the Italian regions. She considers the prioritization of the exonym Lombardsko at the expense of the form Lombardia through standardization as a manifestation of adaptive maximalism and linguistic purism in general in Slovak. Thus, the question of standardization of geographical names in Slovak also acquires a sociolinguistic dimension.

The author considers geographical names as carriers of meaning. Place names are cultural heritage, and may be carriers of historical memory, express “a sense of place,” and/or serve as national symbols. Gradually, names change their form, and it is often the case that either their original meaning becomes ambiguous or they simply take on new connotations. Positive associations connected with geographical names are used for marketing purposes, serving to promote the widely understood tourism industry (e.g., Riviera), or as brands for food products (e.g., Chianti).
